After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Minghua Palace

"My lady, the eunuch is here."

After Shen Aoning heard this, her eyes instantly brightened. She naively thought that His Majesty had come to support her, and quickly ordered, "Please come in."

"Yes!"

"Sister, do you think His Majesty will..." Shen Aoning looked at her with a shocked expression, her heart unable to stop being happy.

Xi Muyao frowned slightly, but she didn't think so. She always had a bad feeling and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily!"

"What do you mean?" Shen Aoning was a little confused. At this time, the eunuch in front of the emperor came in and said, "This servant pays respects to Empress Zhaoyi and Empress Zhaorong."

"Why are you here at this time, father-in-law?" Shen Aoning asked politely with a look of joy on her face.

"Your Majesty's oral order." The eunuch in front of the emperor had a sullen face and looked straight ahead.

After hearing this, Xi Muyao and Shen Aoning quickly stood up and knelt down, "Your Majesty has ordered that Shen Zhaorong deliberately caused trouble and be confined to her room for a month. The green card must be removed and she is not allowed to sleep with him."

Shen Aoning looked up in astonishment, her lips trembling, her face full of disbelief, "Are you serious, eunuch? Is this really the order from His Majesty?"

"How could His Majesty's oral order be false? Empress Zhaorong had better reflect on her past for this month." The eunuch in front of the emperor said with a cold face.

Xi Muyao spoke calmly and calmly. "Thank you, eunuch. Could you please say a few good words for me in front of His Majesty?"

Then Xi Muyao took off a jade bracelet from her hand and gave a look to the palace maid beside her. The palace maid understood what she meant and then stuffed the jade bracelet into the arms of the eunuch in front of the emperor.

The eunuch in front of the emperor chuckled and said, "I dare not, Empress Zhaoyi, I am here to pass on a message to His Majesty." He then returned the jade bracelet to the palace maid, "Since His Majesty's oral order has been delivered, I will take my leave."

"Goodbye, father-in-law." Xi Muyao said with a forced smile, but she was already panicking at the moment.

After the eunuch left, Shen Aoning collapsed to the ground. Xi Muyao ordered, "Everyone, leave!"

"Yes!"

After the palace servants left, Xi Muyao stood up, pulled her up, and said coldly, "Get up!"

Shen Aoning was like a pool of stagnant water, sitting motionless on the ground, tears falling instantly. Xi Muyao said angrily, "Hurry up and get up."

"Sister, what should I do in the future?" Shen Aoning asked crying.

"Looking like you are now, do you have any future?" Xi Muyao looked very disappointed in her.

"elder sister……"

Xi Muyao helped her up, frowned slightly, and asked coldly: "Are you scared already?"

"elder sister……"

Xi Muyao felt very distressed when she saw her like this. She hugged her in her arms and comforted her: "It's okay, you still have me."

Weiyang Palace

During lunch, Xiao Xuanchen came to Weiyang Palace, and Zheng Xiyan really didn't want to see him.

The two sat opposite each other. Xiao Xuanchen spoke first and looked at her with satisfaction. "I know everything that happened this morning. You handled it well."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This is what I should do." Zheng Xiyan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Since Concubine Xu became pregnant, she has indeed become arrogant because of her favor." Xiao Xuanchen was a little helpless, but then he said, "But she is pregnant now after all. Since you have already punished her, I can't punish her for anything else."

"I understand what Your Majesty said, so I only fined her one month's salary." Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes and smiled.

"Yan'er, I want to thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. It is my life's blessing to have you as my good wife." Xiao Xuanchen held her hand and said affectionately.

Zheng Xiyan just smiled. His words were so hypocritical. "These are what I should do as the queen. Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

Having said that, Zheng Xiyan withdrew her hand, then picked up the bowl and served Xiao Xuanchen a bowl of chicken soup.

"Your Majesty, please have a bowl of chicken soup. I asked someone to simmer it over a low fire early in the morning. It is very nourishing to the body." Zheng Xiyan smiled and brought the soup to Xiao Xuanchen.

"Okay, I'll try it." Xiao Xuanchen is now more and more satisfied with Zheng Xiyan, but he is still very wary in his heart.

"It tastes good." Xiao Xuanchen said.

"As long as Your Majesty likes it. By the way, you haven't visited Concubine Rong much in these days. I think you should visit Concubine Rong more often when you are free. Princess Changle is Your Majesty's only daughter, and Your Majesty should always be closer to his daughter." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

"The Queen is right, but now I just want to be with the Queen and Ji'er." Xiao Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Xiyan with lustful eyes.

Zheng Xiyan forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty always cares about me. I am very grateful."

Half a month later

Minghua Palace

Shen Aoning has been under house arrest for some time, and only Xi Zhaoyi comes to visit her. She is so depressed.

When the two of them were having lunch, Xi Muyao saw that she had no appetite at all, so she said, "No matter how bad your mood is, you still have to eat, and you have to eat something."

"Sister, I'm so bored." Shen Aoning said with an unhappy look on her face, feeling very aggrieved.

“Don’t I come here to accompany you every day?” Xi Muyao had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks and comfort her.

"Has His Majesty summoned my sister in the past few days?" Shen Aoning asked with a hint of anticipation.

Xi Muyao shook her head helplessly and said, "No."

"It's all my fault. I've implicated my sister." Shen Aoning felt a little guilty.

"What does this have to do with you? These days, His Majesty has been in Weiyang Palace except for visiting Shen Chongyuan and Xu Jieyu." Xi Muyao had a disdainful expression, and a vicious side revealed in her eyes.

Shen Aoning threw away her chopsticks angrily and said angrily, "The Queen again? Why does His Majesty dote on her so much?"

"She gave birth to the eldest son, how could Your Majesty not favor her?" Xi Muyao said coldly.

"Then what should we do now?" Shen Aoning asked anxiously.

"Have you had your period?" Xi Muyao suddenly asked.

Shen Aoning has been very depressed these days and had long forgotten about this matter. Now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems like it is more than half a month late.

Shen Aoning seemed to realize something and said cautiously, "No, what about you, sister?"

"It's already a month late." Xi Muyao smiled and instantly became proud.

"So what are we doing..."

Xi Muyao held her hand and said, "Don't make it public yet. I have already written to my father and asked him to send a female doctor to the palace. I don't trust the people in the Imperial Hospital. Once the female doctor arrives, we will know whether we are pregnant or not."

"Good! Sister, it's good to have you here." Shen Aoning said excitedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We grew up together, just like real sisters. In this palace, we are each other's only support." Xi Muyao held her hand and said earnestly.

"Ok!"

in a few days

The female doctor entered the palace, the Yong'an Palace, and said, "Congratulations, Empress Zhaoyi, you are two months pregnant."

Xi Muyao was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great."

"Change into the clothes of a palace maid and go to Minghua Palace with me later." Xi Muyao ordered.

"Yes!"

Minghua Palace

After the female doctor checked Shen Aoning's pulse, she said happily, "Congratulations, Empress Zhaorong, you are already over a month pregnant."

"Are you serious?" Shen Aoning still couldn't believe it.

"My diagnosis was correct. The two ladies are indeed pregnant." The female doctor said repeatedly.

"It seems that this prescription is really effective. It's worth it that we drank so much." Xi Muyao unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed.

"Yes, this recipe is really effective." Shen Aoning said excitedly.

Weiyang Palace

Biluo immediately found out that there was a new palace maid in Yong'an Palace and informed Zheng Xiyan.

After hearing this, Zheng Xiyan felt strange and asked cautiously, "Was that palace maid sent in by the Xi family?"

"Exactly!"

"Why did they send a maid into the palace for no reason?" Zheng Xiyan wondered, there must be something fishy going on.

"And when she entered the palace today, Concubine Xi took her to Minghua Palace. What could make her so anxious?" Zheng Xiyan pondered.

"It is strange enough."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiyan instructed: "Send someone to keep an eye on Yong'an Palace and Minghua Palace."

"I have ordered people to keep an eye on him. He is now in Minghua Palace." Biluo reported quickly.

"Don't let anyone find out."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the person sent by Biluo came back, and Biluo came to report, "My queen."

"But what did you find out?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"After Xi Zhaoyi returned from Minghua Palace, she seemed particularly happy."

"They are sisters with deep affection. Shen Zhaorong has been under house arrest. How can she still be happy?" Zheng Xiyan's face changed slightly, and she became more and more puzzled.

Zheng Xiyan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have the people from the Imperial Hospital checked their pulses these days?"

"Shen Zhaorong has been under house arrest, so of course she didn't, but Xi Zhaoyi seems to have not asked the imperial physician to check her pulse for some time. I heard that Imperial Physician Liu went to Yong'an Palace several times, but was asked to leave by Xi Zhaoyi on the grounds that she was in a bad mood."

Zheng Xiyan seemed to have made up her mind. "Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Imperial Physician Liu to check their pulses. If Xi Zhaoyi refuses again, I will say it was my intention."

"Yes, I understand." Biluo also realized something at this moment.

The next morning, Doctor Liu went to Minghua Palace first.
